Must see in Ballina and Byron bay - Great experience! I was with my teenager and 8 year old, little one was a bit seasick due to waves while boat engine was stopped to watch the dolphins, but staff were great and handled it well, I forgot to give him medication before the ride which they did advise in advance. It was amazing watching dolphins free in the ocean compared to theme parks, an unforgettable sight for me and my family! Boat was well maintained, clean, modern life jackets, excellent narration by on board marine biologist! Definitely recommend!

Memorable and Excellent Dolphin Cruise Experience! - Great day out on the cruise to view the dophins. We (8 of us) were only in Byron Bay for the one day and although Out of the Blue Adventures do not normally operate on the day, they were superb with accommodating to our schedule. Very interesting and excellent information provided about the dolphins, and a lot of care was taken by the crew to ensure the safety and comfort of everyone during the cruise.

Top notch guide and experience. A++++ - Well run operation with high quality boat, on time departure/arrival, safety vests and information provided, experienced & knowledgeable crew (our guide was a marine biologist). We saw lots of dolphins, some pods were easily as large as 30-40 dolphins! Two hour cruise along the coast went by quickly, we had 2 young children in our party and they thoroughly enjoyed it! Would highly recommend.

Fantastic experience - What an amazing experience! It felt like everywhere we looked we saw a dolphin or a whale! Dolphins even swam with the boat for about 10 minutes, giving us amazing photo opportunities. This cruise was so much fun. The boat is huge, new, comfortable, safe and fast. Kid friendly too. We were lucky to have a marine biologist, Alice, on board and it was great to have such a knowledgeable person proving expert commentary on what we were seeing. Dean also expertly navigated us about the place, getting us close to the marine life and occasionally opening up the throttle for a bit of a joy ride. The tour length is just right. You definitely get your money’s worth. I would recommend this experience to anyone.

Little slice of ocean paradise!! - I came with a bunch of colleagues as a pre-Christmas get-together and it did not disappoint!! We had the loveliest day out on the water with you and we cannot thank the staff enough for their warm welcome, amazing marine knowledge, and friendliness towards our group. I have since recommended this trip to many family and friends in the area and people visiting from overseas. Thank you for looking after us so well - you guys rock!!!! Merry Christmas x

Amazing Ocean Cruise - Yesterday our family group of four did the Byron Bay Dolphin Tour and Marine Park Cruise. The whole experience was amazing. Lots of dolphins. Great scenery. Informative commentary (Thanks Gabriella).Great boating (Thanks Dan too). Also, the home-cooked muffins were awesome. We were 3 hours on the water and had an unforgettable experience. Just do it. You won't regret it.

Nice boat trip covering the coastal lanscape and attractions between Ballina and Byron Bay. - Nice and educational trip on the coast of Ballina, Lenox Head and Byron Bay. Staff were very friendly. Just to be purist, length of the trip should be indicated. And if something is offered in the package, it should be provided so client know if they have to bring it. For example, water and sunscreen was meant to be supplied so I did not bring them with me on the trip.
